Events at the Garden

We regularly add to our programme of events - please check back for updates, and don't miss our courses page.

Rococo Garden Sprites
Tuesdays during term time plus school holiday specials, 10am-12noon
A chance for children between 18 months and 4 years to stroll through our gorgeous Garden to the enchanted woodland to play, explore and create some natural crafts. The sessions are a mixture of guided activities and free play for which we have a range of resources on hand. There's mud play, walks, stories, wild art, bug hunting and generally having a lovely, relaxing time. Limited availability - book direct with Nature Connections.

Roctober - children get in free if they bring a painted rock!
October 1st-31st, 10.30-5pm
During Roctober we’ll admit any child who brings a painted rock, completely free. Come and have fun exploring the Garden, rock hunting and finding the perfect spot to hide your rock. It really is that simple: one rock = one free child! If you think we've gone completely off our rockers, read our blog to find out more.

Apple juicing - all sessions are booked but you are very welcome to come and watch!
2-30 October, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Sundays, 11am & 2pm
Bring your apples and leave with bottled, pasteurised juice!

Morning and afternoon sessions are available on each operational day - advance booking is essential.
